ICD Code T85.09 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'mech compl of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt' in more detail. The 7th characters that can be added, and the resulting billable codes, are as follows:
Short description: Displacement of ventricular intracranial shunt The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T85.02 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T85.02 - other international versions of ICD-10 T85.02 may differ.
Other mechanical complication of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt 2016 2017 2018 2019 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code. Applicable To Obstruction (mechanical) of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt. Perforation of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt. Protrusion of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt.
T85.09XAICD-10-CM Code for Other mechanical complication of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt, initial encounter T85. 09XA.
Encounter for change or removal of drains The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z48. 03 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z48. 03 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z48.
Breakdown (mechanical) of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt, initial encounter. T85. 01XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T85.

A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a thin plastic tube that helps drain extra cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. CSF is the saltwater that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a cerebral shunt that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) when there is an obstruction in the normal outflow or there is a decreased absorption of the fluid. Cerebral shunts are used to treat hydrocephalus.
CPT code 49426 is used for peritoneal venous shunt revision.
If the narrowing is due to a congenital anomaly, this will be considered a congenital hydrocephalus (742.3). However, if it is an acquired stenosis, then assign code 331.4. Code 331.4 also includes acquired hydrocephalus not otherwise specified.
Hydrocephalus ex-vacuo occurs when a stroke or injury damages the brain and brain matter actually shrinks. The brain may shrink in older patients or those with Alzheimer's disease, and CSF volume increases to fill the extra space. In these instances, the ventricles are enlarged, but the pressure usually is normal.
G91. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
